Planning for your tour

Pre-tour meetings are a great way for your group to bond and to learn more about the adventure that awaits. Our experienced group leaders suggest holding regularly scheduled meetings prior to your tour. You may wish to serve food or show a movie with scenes highlighting your destination, too!

Talk to your tour consultant about your date range, expected group size, adult travelers and any special requests you have. Continue to recruit new travelers.

"This trip was amazing! Learning occurred that could never have happened in the classroom. This experience is one that my students will carry with them for the rest of their lives and has inspired them to learn more about the world in which they live. Thank you, EF, for making this an affordable, extraordinary opportunity!"
